How to survive in a soul-based game with full female mods

"I do not need."

He couldn't figure out what Liz's price was.

The door of the restaurant was very large. It was wide enough for three people to stand at the same time as Lin Yinxi with his arms outstretched, and their height was more than twice his height.

It is so large that one would think it is the gate of a castle rather than the door of a restaurant.

Erica pulled the huge door open with one hand, without even showing any sign of difficulty, and the tightly closed door slowly opened with a heavy "cuckoo, cuckoo" sound.

The thickness of the cross section was at least a palm's thickness. Lin Yinxi was not sure if he could open it by pulling and pushing with all his strength.

Liz had already opened the other side. Watching her easily open the door with her slender arms, he suddenly remembered what she said during the joining test that she could control her strength.

"Are you looking at me so intently? Are you mesmerized by me?"

"I'm looking at the door. It's so thick and heavy. Is this a restaurant? Does a restaurant door need to be so strong?"

"Ah, this...?"

015. Refreshed Food

"Ah, this...? This was originally the lord's castle. I heard it doubled as a refuge just in case, so that's why the doors are so thick. It doesn't really matter to us, so we can ignore it."

The answer was surprisingly simple, but Lin Yinxi stared at Liz, and Liz tilted her head when she saw his gaze.

"Well...it's a bit unexpected."

"what?"

"I thought you were going to say 'I don't know'."

"You guy?"

Liz, with a playful smile, pressed his cheeks together, but just before they were pulled left and right, a voice beside her stopped her.

"Stop messing around and go inside, sister. The new guy has already seen through you!"

"You're taking better care of a newcomer you've known for less than two hours than your sister, whom you've known for over 20 years? It breaks my sister's heart! She's a complete nymphomaniac who disregards her sister for a man!"

"If you say one more word, I'll throw your head in the oven. Shut your mouth."

When Lin Yinxi followed Liz into the restaurant, the first thing that caught his eye was a rectangular table, and Liz was still constantly teasing Erica's nerves.

There is only one chair at the main seat at the vertical end, and at first glance there are more than 20 chairs horizontally. This long table looks like it can accommodate at least fifty people.

There are four tables of this size, so the restaurant naturally has a lot of space. To exaggerate a little, it is more than enough to use it as a martial arts training ground.

"coming?"

Alice, who was eating quietly by herself at a table, greeted the group.

"What? Did you eat first?"

"I waited at least 10 minutes."

"Ah, I see. We are indeed a little late."

"There's no way Erica is neglecting her job... Looks like you're up to something again, Liz."

"You guessed it right, Alice, my sister is in trouble again."

Just because the three of them were a little late, Alice made an accurate judgment.

Liz blurted out "That's too much," but she didn't deny what Alice said, perhaps because she knew her own limitations.

Lin Yinxi left the three people who were talking to each other and looked around the restaurant carefully.

"...?"

There are only four people in the huge restaurant.

"Why... only four people?"

No matter how he looked around, the result was the same.

Alice sat at the table and ate quietly. Liz smiled and said something to Alice, while Erica told Liz to stop talking nonsense.

There were only four people in the huge restaurant, in a place that was big enough to be used as a martial arts training ground.

"Um, Liz."

"Ah? What's wrong?"

"Why only us? Where are the others?"

In the game, in addition to boss-level NPCs such as Alice, Liz, and Erica, who are true "Knight Commanders", there are also many ordinary knight NPCs in miscellaneous positions.

Although the map of the Knights of the Silver Dawn is small compared to the Royal Palace map in the later stages of the game, there are at least twenty ordinary knights if the characters do not refresh.

If the player takes the route of being hostile to humans in the game, then this place will become a battlefield, so it is necessary to place various monsters, and those miscellaneous characters are ordinary knights.

But now, apart from the four people at the scene, there is not even a single person to be found.

"Others? No one?"

"No?"

"Well, there are only four of us in the Knights of the Silver Dawn. Ah, now you're here, so it's five of us, anyway."

"......Why?"

"Well... this might be a bit of a long story, Alice, can you tell it to the newcomers?"

"It doesn't matter. We're all members of the Knights now anyway, so there's nothing to hide. Just be careful not to spread the news too much."

Alice agreed calmly.

"Yes, that's true. Go get the food first, and I'll tell you later."

As Liz spoke, she walked over to the stove, where a large, steaming pot sat, filled with steaming white bread and spiced broth, as if it had just come out of the oven.

Now everything is performing normally.

White bread and broth also appear in the game as background material.

As the name suggests, white bread made from wheat is a bit expensive in the world view of Dark Light 4, but it is not so rare that even the knights cannot afford it. However, broth seasoned with spices is not something that knights can eat at any time.

What happened next was even more surprising. Although Liz had ladled enough broth to fill her plate and taken five or six pieces of white bread, the amount of food did not decrease at all.

"What is this, a miracle?"

Liz's plate was obviously filled with bread she had picked up herself, but bread still piled high on the tray over the stove.

For a moment, Lin Yinxi wondered if there was something wrong with his eyes.

"Well, newcomers probably think it's amazing when they see it for the first time."

Erica walked over to the dumbfounded him.

Unlike Liz, who had a full bowl of soup and grabbed five or six pieces of bread, Erica's bowl only had a small amount of soup and a piece of bread.

"Of course it's magical, what's going on?"

"I understand, it's normal for you to be surprised."

As Erica spoke, she picked up a piece of bread. Then, the void expanded rapidly and a new piece of bread appeared.

Sure enough, I was not seeing things just now.

Erica gently placed the bread on Lin Yinxi's plate, and he just stared at the plate in amazement.

"Nothing to think about, newbie. Think of it like restoring a room to its original state. This bread and broth falls into that category too; a container filled with bread and broth like this is considered to be in 'original' condition. Although in the case we saw, it was also restored to its original state, which is perhaps the only difference."

"Is this the same kind of magic as that one?"

Lin Yinxi picked up the bread on the plate and observed it. The food was nothing special. Liz and Alice ate well, and Erica seemed to have no problem either.

Erica chuckled as if she knew what he was thinking.

"In fact, we don't know whether it is safe to eat this, but everyone is used to it, so we ignore it."

"Then why...?"

"This is best explained together with the question of why there are only five members of the Knights. Here's your soup. Sit down and I'll explain."

Lin Yinxi took the soup bowl and put it on the tray.

Liz, who was eating bread, looked at him and tapped the seat next to her with her palm. It was obvious what this meant, so he went over and sat next to her.

A satisfied smile appeared on Liz's face. She swallowed the bread and turned her head to look at Lin Yinxi.

"You asked before why we were the only ones here, right?"

"Yes, there must be another reason..."

"Of course, it's all because of that fat pig."

Her brows furrowed, as if she didn't even want to mention the word "lord." It was the first time Lin Yinxi saw the kind-hearted Liz react like this.

"Where should I begin..."

016.Reason

"Where should I begin... Well, first of all, we are the Knights of the Silver Dawn, the knights who originally protected the Imperial Family. There are two knightly orders that protect the Empire: the Knights of the Golden Dusk and the Knights of the Silver Dawn."

This isn't much different from the game setting.

Lin Yinxi nodded gently as he listened to Liz's explanation. Although many details had changed due to the mod, the overall plot and background seemed to remain unchanged.

The Knights of the Silver Dawn were originally an elite order of knights that protected the Imperial Family, which is why Liz's boss fight is so difficult despite being a boss fight in an earlier map.

Because according to the setting, they are knights. Although they appear in the early stage, the boss battle should take place in the later stage of the game.

The reason why such an elite group of knights were driven to such a remote place was because of the lord of this city.

The lord of this city is of royal origin. Although he is a distant relative, he shares the same bloodline as the emperor of the empire that rules 2/3 of the continent.

When the current emperor of the empire ascended the throne, all his brothers and sisters were eliminated by him, but this lord was able to survive because he gave up the desire to reach the pinnacle of power very early and kept his feet on the ground.

After that, although the lord did all kinds of crazy things, he did not cross the line, but just showed that he was not suitable for the position of emperor.

But later, because of those crazy things, there was a direct conflict with the Knights of the Silver Dawn.

"Of course, it's all that guy's fault!"

Because he was found to be privately selling drugs that were banned in the Empire, and he was indifferent to the accusations of the Knights of the Silver Dawn, and just continued to do the disgusting and rubbish things he wanted to do in a despicable way.

Although he was finally punished and managed to survive by mobilizing all his connections, he could no longer live in the palace.

This is also the reason why the lord of this city, although a member of the royal family, lives in this marginal area as a lord.

"In this case, he also brought down the Knights of the Silver Dawn."

In revenge, the lord did everything he could to tear apart the organization of the Knights of the Silver Dawn, absorbed most of the ordinary knights into the Knights of the Golden Dusk, and forced a few people, including the Knight Commander, to follow him to this marginal territory.

The nominal reason is "protection".

This is the case in the game, but the current development seems to be different.

The lord here did not seem to ask ordinary knights to follow him, but only asked four knight commanders to follow.

Because the Knights of Golden Dusk were quite corrupt, they welcomed the idea of ​​accepting all ordinary knights and disbanding the clean and honest Knights of Silver Dawn.

Of course, it was unreasonable to ask for a Knight Commander's escort in the first place, but the reason for protecting the royal family was strong, and more importantly, it was largely because the emperor himself had no objections.

In the eyes of the Knights General, this lord who nearly disbanded the Knights of the Silver Dawn definitely did not have good intentions. The lord himself would not treat the Knights General who forced him out of the palace kindly.

Under this relationship between the two, the Magic Castle was pushed to the Knights of the Silver Dawn, so Alice and the others certainly didn't think there was anything good here.

Because it is impossible for the lord to seek benefits for the Knights of the Silver Dawn.

This is also why they are unsure whether the food is safe to eat.

Do you think they don't know there's any magic involved and just eat it so calmly?

Because the Knights did not receive any financial or material support, they had no choice but to eat the food at their own risk.

…This is Liz’s explanation.
